    English original here

    De 1914 à 1916, le périodique Arya [en sanskrit signifie noble] — imprimé à Pondichéry en un nombre limité d’exemplaires et maintenant quasiment introuvable — publia une série d’essais de Srî Aurobindo sur le secret du Véda. Ces essais ont été réédités en un volume sous le même titre, Le secret du Véda (Cahiers du Sud, 1954) [réédité par Fayard en 1975]. (more…)

    Max Weber

    4,535 words

    Part 1 here

    The Intellectual Bankruptcy of the Present Age

    Not only does Strauss claim that historicism is a healthy reaction to the intellectual bankruptcy of the modern world, in the next section of his essay, he also attributes this bankruptcy to non-historicist causes.

    First, Strauss talks about Max Weber’s Learning and Science as Vocation. He specifically objects to Weber’s claim that reason cannot speak about the ultimate aims of life: (more…)

    Historicizing the Historicists:
    Notes on Leo Strauss’ “The Living Issues of German Postwar Philosophy,” Part 1

    3,215 words

    Part 1 of 2 

    Leo Strauss is widely known as a critic of historicism and an advocate of classical philosophy.

    English original here

    Poznámka autora:

    Následující esej jsem napsal v 90. letech jako doktorand, ne v rámci svých studijních povinností, ale spíš abych si ujasnil své myšlenky ohledně čtení filozofických textů v rámci přípravy k psaní své vlastní doktorské disertační práce. Jen těžko dokážu uvěřit, že jsem míval dostatek volného času na to, abych psal eseje o skoro osmi tisících slovech „do šuplíku,“ ale důkaz máte před sebou. (more…)

    Friedrich Schleiermacher:
    The Father of Modern Theology & a Prophet of German Nationalism, Part 2

    4,506 words

    Part 2 of 2. Part 1 here.

    Schleiermacher’s Philosophy of Mind

    According to Schleiermacher, the task of philosophy is the “immersion of the Spirit into the innermost depths of itself and of things in order to fathom the relations of their [spirit and nature] being-together.”[1] Schleiermacher’s philosophy, like German idealism in general, was very influenced by, and a reaction to, the critical transcendental philosophy of Immanuel Kant.

    3. The Hermeneutic Circle in Heidegger’s Being and Time

    Heidegger’s purpose in Being and Time[1] is to explore the question of the sense (Sinn) of Being (Sein). By “Being” Heidegger means the meaningful presence of beings to a knower. By the “sense of Being,” Heidegger refers to the meaningful presence of meaning itself. (more…)

    Editor’s Note:

    This text is the transcript by V. S. of Jonathan Bowden’s lecture on Evola delivered to the 27th meeting of the New Right in London on June 5, 2010.

    Stewart Home:
    Communism, Nihilism, Neoism, & Decadence

    11,050 words

    Editor’s Note:

    b-stewart-home-jpgThe following text is a transcript by V.S. of one of Jonathan Bowden’s most entertaining lectures, which was delivered to the 25th New Right meeting in London on February 13, 2010. Although Stewart Home is the principal subject, Bowden romps through a wide field of politically correct theories, ultra-Left sects, and decadent forms of modern art.

    Introduction to Plato’s Republic, Part 2

    3,160 words

    lightincavePart 2 of 2

    Author’s Note:

    The following text is based on a transcript by V. S. of a lecture on Plato’s Republic. As usual, I have edited his transcript to remove excessive wordiness and corrected a couple of small mistakes.  

    Plato writes in his Seventh Letter that he never set forth his own philosophy in any of his writings. That’s a pretty extraordinary statement for one of our greatest philosophers to make. (more…)

    Paul Edward Gottfried
    Leo Strauss and the Conservative Movement in America: A Critical Appraisal
    New York: Cambridge University Press, 2012

    Paul Gottfried’s admirable book on Leo Strauss is an unusual and welcome critique from the Right.
